N560gtx-ti Twin Frozr II ram heat sinks

I have an old 560 ti twin frozr II that had the cooler die, so I decided to get a Prolimatech mk-26 cooler...a little overkill, but pretty future proof...I am curious though, so I really need to add the RAM/VRM heat sinks?? As I don't over-clock or anything, I would want to stick to the original design...I'm thinking that putting on the "adhesive" sinks might actually hinder cooling...MSI tech support said they didn't know (I think the guy was on the other side of the world) so I got no answer there...any ideas?

if new new cooler provide decent airflow over those areas, think its not really need.

MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC: Graphical Glitches/Corruption

Hello, I bought and installed an MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC video card one week ago. For the last week, it has been running perfectly, but today when I started up a game the 3D graphics began glitching and showing random stretched triangles and distorted models. While the 3D graphics are running, the monitor randomly loses signal from the video card and occasionally the program will crash with a popup bubble stating that the NVIDIA driver has recovered from a problem.
After reading through some posts here, I downloaded the MSI Afterburner program, enabled voltage monitoring, and set everything to defaults.
The defaults are:
Core Voltage: 1000 mV
Core Clock : 880 MHz
Shader Clock : 1760 MHz
Memory Clock : 2100 MHz
When I click the button to run a Kombuster stability test, the 3D has the same graphical glitches that I saw in my games. Here is a screenshot:
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_880.jpg
I tried lowering the Core Clock speed and retrying the test. It appears that the level of corruption is proportional to the clock speed. At the minimum clock speed of 440 MHz, the graphics are almost perfect, however a glitch or two will still occasionally show up.
Here is the test at Core Clock = 705 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_705.jpg
and at 440 MHz: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww333/MP64x2/corrupted_440.jpg
- I've tried bumping up the Core Voltage a little to around 1020 mV, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
- Lowering the Memory Clock also reduces glitches, but they never go away completely.
- Even at the absolute minimum clock settings, my games still glitch and crash.
- I do not have access to another system that I can try the video card in.

As I type this I'm starting to get corruption right on my desktop too, with random pixels changing color and black rectangles appearing on applications.
From what I've read in other threads, it seems like my power supply may not be sufficient since it has multiple 12V rails, but before I spend ~$100 on a new one I thought I'd see if anyone had any other thoughts.

I have an interesting update on my original problem.
A week after I reseated the card, the graphical glitches returned. I turned the computer off, reseated the card again, turned it on, and it began working fine.
Another week goes by with no problems, and then a couple days ago the glitches came back. Thinking it strange that the card could somehow take approximately the same amount of time to cause the same kind of bad connection, I wondered if there was something else that was causing the glitches to temporarily disappear.
I tried rebooting my computer, but the glitches remained.
I then completely turned off my computer and pulled out the power cord and left it for a couple minutes. I didn't open the case at all and made sure not to do anything that would bump any components. I turned the computer back on - glitches are gone once again.
So, it would seem that it may in fact have something to do with the power supply and not any bad connections with the card itself - at least, that's the best guess I have at the moment. I leave my computer on 24/7 so it seems like it doesn't like being left on for an entire week with this new video card installed.
Does this sound sensible? Is it possible for a power supply to slowly fail over several days, only to start working again after being powered down for a couple minutes?
Did you ever figure your issue out? I have the exact same issue. My system runs fine for almost a week...and then my desktop starts artifacting. The only way it goes away is to unplug my pc (or flip the switch on PSU). Then it runs again perfectly for nearly a week again and I start getting artifacts and the message stating that the graphics driver has stopped working and then recovered.
I also run my pc 24/7 and this problem is getting very annoying! My PSU shouldn't be a problem as I have the PC & Cooling 750W...
Oh...almost forgot. I've seen the same issue on 2 video cards now. RMA'd the first one and the second one does the exact same thing...

Do I need another RMA? N560GTX Ti Twin Frozr II/OC

Hey folks. Hi Svet.
Question: So, uh, is there something wrong with 560 GTX Ti based cards?!
I bought the card in February. It went flaky and was RMA'd in June.
Thread here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=149374.msg1109239#msg1109239
They sent me someone elses' repaired card, or a new card, but it hasn't lasted even 5 months of near zero use! I put in the replacement, and it seemed to work fine; ran all benchmarks and tests when I first installed it. And never gave it another thought.
I haven't had much need for 3D or gaming, I certainly haven't had time to game all summer. I mostly web browse and photo edit, and for that it's working fine. I'm mostly in linux and the only OpenGL work I do is rendering/modelling in Blender. In case you don't know, consumer 3D like 3D Vision doesn't work under linux.
Fast forward to today. Some family were over, the kids wanted to play with the cool 3D glasses, so I fire up Win7x64 and an OLD game (TOB: HL2 & Portal) and it looks horrible!
The white "fire flies" are everywhere, it looks kind of like a sports stadium filled with camera flashes going off. The textures are not only tearing, but the colors are freaky (mostly primary colors - white, magenta, blue) and tons of flickering. The textures are flickering individually. 3D or non-3D it's the same. You can still play, but of course you can't see. And eventually, it locks, and you have to reboot.
Trying to run Kombustor at just 1280x720 results in garbled video and finally the app crashes or hangs. The "furry" text is all interconnected, like there's extra faces or something.
The card has never been overclocked (beyond factory OC)... 880/1760/2100 MHz. Re: temps, in 2D it's always around 34C (and it never gets over 54C before crashing.)
The system is stable and runs just fine, until you throw something graphically-intensive at it, like gaming. Then the card goes boom.
This is with the 285.62 driver, I've also tried the 280.26 from the MSI site with the same results.
I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue, the reason I'm posting before RMAing is, what should I do here? I do NOT want to RMA this thing just to have it die again. I want a stable system, period. The card should last indefinitely, at least until it's so old no one would bother using it! And with solid caps replacing that first-to-fail point of electrolytics, this should be easily attainable! I know MSI won't ever say if there's a design flaw with the chip nor the card, but you guys are another story. Could I, for example, get an RMA unit and then flash it so it will be a slower, ordinary 560GTX? Obviously I could, what I mean is, would this make the card survive longer? I'll take stable over speed any day of the week.
As you can imagine, I'm frustrated. And POOR, which makes matters worse - I can't swap it out even if I wanted to.
Well, thanks for reading. Any help appreciated.

Driver for N560GTX-448 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC -l- split

I bought the card about four weeks ago and just now I had the opportunity to test it.
When I installed the video card in my PC, the device manager appears only a standard VGA video card. When I installed the driver, Device Manager showed a yellow exclamation on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti saying "Windows has stopped this device becouse encounter some problems (error 43). I tried running some games but I could not open them, and with some drivers the screen was filled with artifacts
I tried various drivers on my two PCs, from one that comes with the video card to the 295.73 driver, and each time the same warning on device manager. Can anyone help solve this or may I do a RMA to MSI?

Thank you.

You sure your PSU has enough amps on the 12V rail and you connected the PCIE power connectors properly ?
Have you checked your Motherboard's BIOS revisions for updates regarding the later video cards ?
Your PCIE Bus interface should be 2.0 X 16. Have you reseated the card properly and disabled the on board graphics in your BIOS ?
My PSU is a SevenTeam 750ZAF with 750W. I used it to do SLI of my 9800GTX+ in the other computer and never had problems with it. I doubt that this could be my problem.
The GA-EP43-DS3L already has the ultimate BIOS and I did the update on the GA-A75M-D2H BIOS. Nothing new, the problem persist.
Anyone of my boards does not support PCI-Express 2.0 but this is not a requisites for work of the video board like said the MSI page:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N560GTX-448-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html#?div=Feature
"PCI Express 2.0 doubles the bandwidth of previous generations of PCI express up to an astonishing 16Gb/s. This maximizes the performance of current graphics cards in today's most demanding games and applications. PCI Express 2.0 products are fully compatible with mainboards with other versions of PCI Express."

N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC Bios request

Given the problems i had with recent nvidia drivers (TDR's, game crashes, pink artifacts etc...), i got stuck with the last 'trouble free' ones whitch are the 10 month old 275.33.
So, assuming that the low factory OC voltages are the culprit, is there a recent bios with higher voltages than the original ones ?
my card:
N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC
SN: 602-V238-16SB1101157535
Current Bios: 70.24.0A.00.00 (P1040-0050) http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bwdoc7r4re5kk7e

I know how this is going to sound, but the truth is almost always unpleasant...
I'm not a teenager, i don't have time to test different drivers with all my games, flash video playback, TDR's scenarios etc.. with various voltages to the gpu and gpu ram to reach, by trial end error, a satisfying 'config' (which would also require a reset to MB bios default to eliminate any potential overclocking interference with the GPU (and yes, i do have the same problems with the GPU on MB bios defaults)). And all of this NOT to overclock it further but to bring it to a 'functioning' state on the factory frequences. If MSI software team couldn't get ir right in the first place, it's their job to do further testing and come up with the solution. I'm a newbie to gpu overclocking but i realize that just increasing the core voltage is not enough and oher things need to be taken into account. Damaging components due to overvolting, thus losing my warranty, is not desirable. And in the end, if they already fixed this with a new bios, why would i go to all the trouble myself ?!?
What do i mean by "Also, i wouldn't want to have to apply these voltages every time i start the pc." ? .., i mean that when i last tried it, checking the 'apply OC at startup' box, didn't actually apply OC at startup.. I had to create profiles and apply them myself. Also, i shouldn't have to run afterburner all the time just to ghet the card to work properly.
I appolagise for the long post and the 'tone' of the message.

About Pink Artifact and System Down (N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC)

Since I changed my PSU with 1100 Watt Power(I had 500 watt before) I haven't got pink artifact problem again. But I still have the problem with Windows 7 drivers about watching videos which makes my screen like changing resolutions everytime I run videos.I'm using windows 8 drivers I hope they fix it with windows 7 drivers too...

MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II OC causes system to freeze

I'm having occassional freezes with my GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr OC (system completely stops responding while display and sound freeze and it takes around 5 seconds for the PC to respond to reset button ie. to reboot). This happens, for example, under Windows 7 in 3DMark11 Deep Sea Demo and in Windows XP randomly, but most often in web browser when watching Adobe Flash content with hardware acceleration enabled? Maybe BIOS update could help? Thank you in advance.
My system specs are as follows:
Intel i5 2500k
MSI P67A-C43 Rev1.0
EXCELERAM 2x2GB E30101B (XMP selected in BIOS - 1600MHz)
MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II OC
WD Caviar Blue WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA 500GB Sata 3.0
Dual Boot: Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit updated / Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit updated
OCZ Stealth Xstream OCZ500SXS 500W +12V1~18A +12V2~18A, +5V~30A, +3.3V~30A

This is strange! I've just discovered that if I turn off C6 state (it's no problem to leave c states enabled, only need to set c state limit to C2) the freeze issue is gone. I guess my i5 2500k doesn't like c6 state or there is some kind of incompatibility between Intel C states and Windows or MSI P67A-C43 is ready for another BIOS update after version 1.9. What do you think Svet? After some quick googling on this issue I found out that Nehalem CPUs had somewhat similar problem.

Would a bios update fix this problems with drivers?
Thank you!

Ok, thanks Svet! But for the problem with drivers what do you think?
It's annoying because i can't play Battlefield 4 because i have an outdated driver, and many new games that are optimized in new drivers, i can't benefit for that extra fps.
Maybe if some big company like Msi would talk to nvidia they will listen and repair the bugs. I know gtx 560 ti is old, but for me is enough and i don't want to change my card because they can't make a good driver.
I have no overclock on the card, everything is stock.
Thanks!

N560GTX -TI Twin Frozr II/OC need help

Hi there,
I have a N560GTX -TI Twin Frozr II/OC serial nr. 602-V238-220B1111137319
I did update my bios following a post found here with version 70.24.2E.00.6C (P1040-0050)
The VGA card, it has become now a bit instable during game and as you may see in attached image of GPU-Z, it shows PhysX disabled but in my Nvidia Control Panel, everything is fine and the PhysX has been selected trought GTX card.
I don't understand what is happening so it would be really great if anyone could give me the .rom file of the original bios for my VGA card in way to recover it and get back to the original parametres.

Thanks, I've fixed it up.
I've tried to update the bios cux since a few days, the vga doesn't keep 60 fps in game when recording with fraps. Sometimes it goes to 55 and then it is hard to play. The game is NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 and up to now I could play it while recording at 60fps fix.
I use AB profile overclocked to 938 (core) and 2205 (memory) with voltage at 1.012
